About Alba Residence
Alba Residence is a 5-storey residential building in Liwan 2, part of the wider Liwan master-community in Wadi Al Safa 2, Dubailand. It was developed by Amaya Properties and completed in 2026. The building holds 22 units in total, made up of 20 residential apartments (one and two-bedroom layouts) across a ground floor and four additional levels, plus two retail units on the ground floor.
The architectural consultant on the project was Future Art Engineering Consultancy, and the main building work was carried out by Al Safa Contracting. Sales launched with an installment payment plan of 20% on booking, 30% during construction and 50% on handover.
Location & Nearby Landmarks
Alba Residence sits in Liwan 2, at the crossroads of Al Ain Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road in Dubailand. The wider Liwan community spans roughly 13 million sq ft and combines residential blocks with green areas and community retail.
Landmarks within a short drive of Liwan 2 include Silicon Central Mall, IMG World of Adventure, Dubai Academic City and Global Village. For a wider view of Dubai's short-term rental market, see Royale Stays' Airbnb property management guide.
Unit Types
Alba Residence offers two core unit types plus two ground-floor retail units. One-bedroom apartments run 637 to 867 sq ft, and two-bedroom apartments run 973 to 1,458 sq ft, per Dubai Land Department-derived size records. At sales launch, prices started from AED 856,000 for standard one-bedroom units, AED 1.16 million for one-bedroom executive units, AED 1.25 million for standard two-bedroom units and AED 1.46 million for two-bedroom executive units.
Amenities
Alba Residence itself is a compact building: its own shared facilities are covered parking and the two ground-floor retail units, with no on-site pool or gym. Residents are within a short drive of wider Liwan community amenities, including schools, a nursery, a clinic and Silicon Central Mall for retail and dining.
Transportation & Access
Alba Residence does not sit within walking distance of a Dubai Metro station, so residents and guests generally rely on cars or ride-hailing. The building’s position at the crossroads of Al Ain Road and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road gives direct road access toward both central Dubai and Dubailand’s own retail and education hubs.
Rental & Price Trends
Alba Residence launched with one-bedroom prices from AED 856,000 and two-bedroom prices from AED 1.25 million. Recorded Dubai Land Department resale transactions for one-bedroom units (637 to 639 sq ft) have run AED 693,888 to AED 698,000. Two-bedroom resale transactions (973 to 1,196 sq ft) have run from roughly AED 1,016,000 up to AED 1,300,000, with a 973 sq ft unit selling for AED 1,089,000 on 8 June 2026, one of the most recent transactions on record.
Sale figures are Dubai Land Department-derived transaction records published under the government's Open Data directive, not asking prices. 13 sale transactions were on record for Alba Residence at the time of research, a modest sample for a recently completed project, so these figures should be read as an early indication rather than an established market pattern.
Airbnb & Short-Term Rental Income Potential
Liwan and the wider Dubailand area sit outside Royale Stays' core managed areas (Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Marina, Downtown Dubai and JBR), so no verified area-level short-term rental earnings benchmark is available for Alba Residence specifically. The building is a standard freehold residential development with no hotel or serviced-apartment component and no Vida branding, which is the only confirmed prohibition under Royale Stays' permit policy, so there is no confirmed prohibition on holiday-home letting here.
Royale Stays' Airbnb management services cover furnishing, photography, dynamic pricing, guest communications, check-in and maintenance coordination, all handled from a management fee starting at 15%. Holiday-home permitting follows the normal Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism route: see Royale Stays' holiday home permit guide for the full process. Owners considering an Alba Residence apartment for short-term letting can get a free property assessment by submitting their property directly.
